Bachman's Holiday Ideas House: Pt. I

The house is solely used for display. It's been decorated by Ki Nassauer ofJunk Camp. This woman's style absolutely inspires me. She takes the most ordinary objects and makes them fabulous. Here's the first batch of pics:

Rolls of string as house numbers.

Notice the teapot as an ice bucket

For holiday decorataing, it seemed to be alot about using cranberries. In dishes, surrounding candles, bases of arrangements - a super easy and totally colorful punch of color. The apple trees above would be a fabulous centerpeice and easy to put together.

The kitchen is absolutely adorable. Packed with charm. The light fixture is made out of cookie cutters. The wall above the stove is lined with antique windows. They were back-lit which was a neat effect. The kitchen window has holiday hand embroidered towels as curtains - hung by clothepins and held back w/ a cookie cutter. Sigh - all completely charming.

glass
vintage windows laying around the house....

star topiaries are really charm filled and the spindles on the wall - fab.

I am a sucker for hand embroidered towels. Tip: they make unique and darling 'Teacher gifts'.

Pair it some lotion or a candle and you're set.

Fabulous Christmas count-down calendar.

Part II will be the living room and upstairs. More good stuff to come.... (tease alert!)

Popped over from Cozy Little House's welcome wagon. I see so many things in that house that I want. The cookie cutter chandelier is awesome. And the house numbers in string is fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

When I was in the house, I asked how much Ki was involved. They told me she is a consultant for Bachman's and some of the ideas came from her but most come from the team at Bachman's. The Bachman's team installs the entire house. The best news is that they are doing four more houses in 2011. I can't wait to be inspired by their creativity.
